“Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.”
King James Version (KJV)
27:26 He delivered him to be crucified - The person crucified was nailed to the cross as it lay on the ground, through each hand extended to the utmost stretch, and through both the feet together. Then the cross was raised up, and the foot of it thrust with a violent shock into a hole in the ground prepared for it. This shock disjointed the body, whose whole weight hung upon the nails, till the persons expired through mere dint of pain. This kind of death was used only by the Romans, and by them inflicted only on slaves and the vilest criminals.
Mt 27:26 He had Jesus scourged. Scourging usually preceded crucifixion. It was an awful punishment, inflicted by brutal soldiers, and continued until the victim was fainting under the torture.
ΒΆ Then released hee Barabbas vnto them, and when he had scourged Iesus, he deliuered him to be crucified.
